(Kuznits:) “What’s the magic ingredient that made it work?”

(Harwood:) “Peanut butter. The peanut butter’s both salty and sweet, so we took the salt from the hot dog; sweet from all the brownie, the caramel, and the chocolate syrup; topped it with a little whipped cream, and it just transitioned perfectly.”

Jar Bar means juicy and raw. Jennifer Vanheeswyk, who lost 45 pounds transitioning into a raw food diet, says believe it or not, raw food is delicious! And she offers more than just juices at her restaurant near 12th and Chestnut Streets in center city.

“We also have knockoffs of our traditional American food,” she says, “like we have a sweet potato pasta — but it’s made from vegetables, with sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil and basil. And we also have a burger — it’s a patty of almonds and vegetables and flax, and it’s pressed together, and it’s served with jicama fries. They’re not cooked — nothing’s cooked.”
